Where is the best place to purchase a pair of harnesses for a street 914/6 that is also used for DE events? I would like to find them from someone who is knowledgeable enough to make sure that I get the correct belts the first time. Also, I think I want cam lock belts but I have never owned a pair. Please suggest the best set up for me!
Thanks. |

I have had G force and they are excellent and seem to be the least costly. Shop around.
I prefer "pull down" vs "pull up" which refers to the direction you pull to tighten the shoulder belts. You want 5 point. The floor belt keeps the lap belt down over your hips where it belongs. I have had both cam and latch types. Frankly, given the cost difference, I prefer the latch style. The advantage of the cam, in theory, is that you can release yourself more rapidly in an emergency. I don't think there is that much difference and with a little practice they are about the same for strapping in. With no backpad, I prefer to use eyebolts through the firewall and a spring clip to attach. You will want a bolt in bracket for the floor and lap. You can bolt to the stock lap mount bolts. |
